Phase D Operations During This Phase (Dates 2021 to end of 2025)

1. Mineral extraction will progress in a northerly direction within the eastern half of the quarry to a basal level of 225m aOD. Watering will continue to a maximum depth of 225m aOD.

2. A new ramp will be created in the south-eastern corner of the quarry to provide access into the quarry void.

3. On completion of the new access ramp, the existing ramp in the north-east will be removed and the material placed in the western restoration area.

4. The new access ramp will be processed in the quarry void and temporarily stockpiled before being used in the asphault plant or transported off site.

5. This phase will release approximately 950,000 tonnes of limestone.

6. Approximately 102,800m³ of tipped material will be removed from the Deep Dale Tip area and the majority transported to the western restoration area.

7. To provide access for vehicles removing material from the lower part of Deep Dale, a temporary access track will be created along the Deep Dale valley floor. A cutting will be created to provide access into the quarry void.

8. Section of Footpath 37 south of Deep Dale Tip remains closed for the duration of Deep Dale restoration operations.
